Psalm 93

1 Ψαλμὸς τῷ Δαυΐδ, τετράδι σαββάτου. ΘΕΟΣ ἐκδικήσεων Κύριος, Θεὸς ἐκδικήσεων ἐπαρρησιάσατο.

1 (94) A Psalm of David for the fourth [day] of the week. The Lord is a God of vengeance; the God of vengeance has declared himself.

2 ὑψώθητι ὁ κρίνων τὴν γῆν, ἀπόδος ἀνταπόδοσιν τοῖς ὑπερηφάνοις.

2 Be you exalted, you that judge the earth: render a reward to the proud.

3 ἕως πότε ἁμαρτωλοί, Κύριε, ἕως πότε ἁμαρτωλοὶ καυχήσονται,

3 How long shall sinners, O Lord, how long shall sinners boast?

4 φθέγξονται καὶ λαλήσουσιν ἀδικίαν, λαλήσουσι πάντες οἱ ἐργαζόμενοι τὴν ἀνομίαν;

4 They will utter and speak unrighteousness; all the workers of iniquity will speak [so].

5 τὸν λαόν σου, Κύριε, ἐταπείνωσαν καὶ τὴν κληρονομίαν σου ἐκάκωσαν,

5 They have afflicted your people, O Lord, and hurt your heritage.

6 χήραν καὶ ὀρφανὸν ἀπέκτειναν, καὶ προσήλυτον ἐφόνευσαν

6 They have slain the widow and fatherless, and murdered the stranger.

7 καὶ εἶπαν· οὐκ ὄψεται Κύριος, οὐδὲ συνήσει ὁ Θεὸς τοῦ Ἰακώβ.

7 And they said, The Lord shall not see, neither shall the God of Jacob understand.

8 σύνετε δή, ἄφρονες ἐν τῷ λαῷ· καί, μωροί, ποτὲ φρονήσατε.

8 Understand now, you⌃ simple amongst the people; and you⌃ fools, at length be wise.

9 ὁ φυτεύσας τὸ οὖς οὐχὶ ἀκούει; ἢ ὁ πλάσας τὸν ὀφθαλμὸν οὐχὶ κατανοεῖ;

9 He that planted the ear, does he not hear? or he that formed the eye, does not he perceive?

10 ὁ παιδεύων ἔθνη οὐχὶ ἐλέγξει; ὁ διδάσκων ἄνθρωπον γνῶσιν;

10 He that chastises the heathen, shall not he punish, [even] he that teaches man knowledge?

11 Κύριος γινώσκει τοὺς διαλογισμοὺς τῶν ἀνθρώπων ὅτι εἰσὶ μάταιοι.

11 The Lord knows the thoughts of men, that they are vain.

12 μακάριος ὁ ἄνθρωπος, ὃν ἂν παιδεύσῃς, Κύριε, καὶ ἐκ τοῦ νόμου σου διδάξῃς αὐτὸν

12 Blessed is the man whoever you shall chasten, O Lord, and shall teach him out of your law;

13 τοῦ πραυ±ναι αὐτὸν ἀφ᾿ ἡμερῶν πονηρῶν, ἕως οὗ ὀρυγῇ τῷ ἁμαρτωλῷ βόθρος.

13 to give him rest from evil days, until a pit be digged for the sinful one.

14 ὅτι οὐκ ἀπώσεται Κύριος τὸν λαὸν αὐτοῦ καὶ τὴν κληρονομίαν αὐτοῦ οὐκ ἐγκαταλείψει,

14 For the Lord will not cast off his people, neither will he forsake his inheritance;

15 ἕως οὗ δικαιοσύνη ἐπιστρέψῃ εἰς κρίσιν καὶ ἐχόμενοι αὐτῆς πάντες οἱ εὐθεῖς τῇ καρδίᾳ. (διάψαλμα).

15 until righteousness return to judgement, and all the upright in heart shall follow it. Pause.

16 τίς ἀναστήσεταί μοι ἐπὶ πονηρευομένοις; ἢ τίς συμπαραστήσεταί μοι ἐπὶ τοὺς ἐργαζομένους τὴν ἀνομίαν;

16 Who will rise up for me against the transgressors? or who will stand up with me against the workers of iniquity?

17 εἰ μὴ ὅτι Κύριος ἐβοήθησέ μοι, παρὰ βραχὺ παρῴκησε τῷ ᾅδῃ ἡ ψυχή μου.

17 If the Lord had not helped me, my soul had almost sojourned in Hades.

18 εἰ ἔλεγον· σεσάλευται ὁ πούς μου, τὸ ἔλεός σου, Κύριε, ἐβοήθει μοι.

18 If I said, My foot has been moved;

19 Κύριε, κατὰ τὸ πλῆθος τῶν ὀδυνῶν μου ἐν τῇ καρδίᾳ μου αἱ παρακλήσεις σου εὔφραναν τὴν ψυχήν μου.

19 your mercy, O Lord, helped me. O Lord, according to the multitude of my griefs within my heart, your consolation have soothed my soul.

20 μὴ συμπροσέστω σοι θρόνος ἀνομίας, ὁ πλάσσων κόπον ἐπὶ πρόσταγμα.

20 Shall the throne of iniquity have fellowship with you, which frames mischief by an ordinance?

21 θηρεύσουσιν ἐπὶ ψυχὴν δικαίου καὶ αἷμα ἀθῷον καταδικάσονται.

21 They will hunt for the soul of the righteous, and condemn innocent blood.

22 καὶ ἐγένετό μοι Κύριος εἰς καταφυγὴν καὶ ὁ Θεός μου εἰς βοηθὸν ἐλπίδος μου·

22 But the Lord was my refuge; and my God the helper of my hope.

23 καὶ ἀποδώσει αὐτοῖς Κύριος τὴν ἀνομίαν αὐτῶν, καὶ κατὰ τὴν πονηρίαν αὐτῶν ἀφανιεῖ αὐτοὺς Κύριος ὁ Θεός.

23 And he will recompense to them their iniquity and their wickedness: the Lord our God shall utterly destroy them.
